《原野》上冲出来一匹“黑马”——有感天津歌舞剧院歌剧团恢复建制首演

A "dark horse" out of Wilderness

早在上世纪初叶,天津这座城市就率先上演了意大利经典歌剧《图兰朵》。新中国成立后,天津歌舞剧院排演过近50部中外歌剧,其中创作歌剧多达16部。沈湘、李光曦、刘维维等就是从海河岸边走上歌剧舞台的。但在经济大潮强力冲击下,天津的歌剧市场萎缩低迷,歌剧团"更名换姓"、"改弦易张"散了摊子。为树立天津国际化大都市的文化形象,歌剧团近期恢复建制,并推出了其恢复建制后的第一部公演作品——大型歌剧《原野》。11月2日至4日,这部"开锣"重头戏荣耀亮相天津大礼堂。该剧原著曹禺,改编万方,作曲金湘,导演李稻川,指挥高伟春;李瑛、曲芮金饰金子,王虎鸣、王来饰仇虎,石广羽、王泽南饰焦大星,康凯、郭立楠饰焦母,薛跃林、边仁琪饰常五爷,张凯、米学洲饰白傻子。这也是为纪念该剧诞生20周年倾情奉献的2007新版首演,天津的歌剧爱好者更是将其视为天津歌剧艺术复兴的一道曙光。
